There are SO many other stinky crops. good grief.

Maya Blue Senese Harms

Cash crop. Good for the grower, good for the economy. The smell goes away quicker than a forest fire. The neighbor complaining if dry throat and headaches is dehydrated and needs to drink some water.

Hemp is a great way for farmers to make money. America used Hemp a long time ago, and it needs to be used again.

If it smells like marijuana, it needs to be processed indoors to not give neighbors that 'skunk' smell.

This crop was only legalized in 2018. Property owners before legalization, should not be put out by a stench that creates an unbearable living situation.

The rights of the people outweigh the rights of any plan, or animal.

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
